Catnip-aholics Anonymous

By Miss Kubelik

We cats feel like maybe we've overdosed on catnip. Everything is so, so weird.

World peace broke out today. Because we've all seen "Argo," we should be celebrating the fact that our President and the President of Iran had a direct, cordial telephone conversation for the first time since 1979. Having been there when demonstrators constantly chanted "Down, down, down with the Shah" in front of the White House, we cats think that's pretty amazing.

And of course, President Obama stepped up to the lectern in the press briefing room this afternoon to speak to the American people about it. But right on the heels of that, he had to spank the Republicans for acting like children — which is what they're doing.

Here's what's going on, in 25 words or less: The GOP is threatening to bring the world economy down because they don't want millions of Americans to get affordable health insurance.

Is that stranger than Obama chatting up Rouhani? We cats think maybe it is. Pass the catnip.
